tinuous extension. These
rules
or
“ by-laws," together with certain other
important matter, are contained in
the church “ Manual." The provisions
o f this “ Muuual" are Jealously guard­
ed by Christian Scientists because
they consider that It embodies the es-
seutlal requirements for guiding them
Individually and collectively and In-
surlng the ultimate understanding and
acceptance of Christian Science by
the world at large. In fact, some
Christian Scientists believe that this
manual Is designed to Identify and
protect the progressive minority lu
each successive stage o f the develop­
ment o f the church body and to stim­
ulate the more rapid unfoldment of
each advancing fooiatep In the line of
spiritual evolution.
Some also be­
lieve that a system that will Insure
the
auccessful
accomplishment
of
these results when honestly and intel­
ligently applied to a collective body
or community, means fa r more than
at flrst appears on the surface; In
fact, that Mrs. Eddy baa evolved a
scientific system which will ultimately
affect all human government and or­
ganization and Insure the world's
progress on a definite and practical
basis by Impelling the more rapid
dawn of each succeeding stage o f pro­
gressive unfoldment and the elimina­
tion of the long and bitter struggles
which have always obstructed human­
ity's advancing footsteps.
in the 42 years since her first church
was organized, Mrs. Eddy's touching*
have spread throughout the world,
through approximately two thousand
distinct organizations, and have be­
come a powerful Influence In the lives
of millions o f people. The Christian
Science publications. Including the
Christian Science Monitor, a dally
newspaper o f universally recognized
excellence,
carry
their
messages
throughout the world.
The earthly pilgrimage o f flie ven­
erable Founder o f this great religious
movement came to a close on Decem­
ber 3, 1910, and on that occasion ap­
peared In the press of the world a re­
markable tribute to the work o f this
great religious figure. Agreement or
disagreement with her teachings had
nothing to do apparently with the sin­
cere appreciation expressed on every
hand that this gentle American wom­
an had lifted up a staudard o f couduct
and character that bad worked vastly
In the Improvement of the moral stan­
dards o f the world. As an Indication
of the estimate In which she was held
by those who knew her best, the city
counstl of her home city, Concord, N.
H., on this occasion passed a formal
resolution declaring “ that by the death
o f the Kev. Mary Baker Eddy the
world has suffered an Irreparable loss
and the citizens o f Concord the loss
of an honored and a devoted friend sf
our city whose motto was t o Injure
no man, but to bless all mankind.’ ”
That the citizenship of Mary Baker
Eddy was o f a high order may per­
haps be gleaned from a sentence pub­
lished In a Boston paper rnauy years
ago when Mrs. Eddy was asked for
her political beliefs: ” 1 have none In
reality, other than to help support a
righteous government, to love (Jod su­
premely. and my neighbor as myself.*
When one has climbed the green-
clad hills of Bow rising from the beau­
tiful waters o f the Merrimack, be
retches the rolling uplands where
stood the Baker homestead. Marking
the birthplace today, like t allent. Im­
movable sentinel, stands a great gran­
ite pyramid memorial bewD from the
largest block o f granite ever quarried
In New Hampshire. It seems to ap­
propriately symbolize ths life work
of Mary Raker Eddy which Christian
Sclenttsta believe to have been the dis­
covery that principle Is Ood and that
Christianity and Science art in reality
Identical. On one o f the bronze tab-
leta on this memorial appaar these
words, quoted from M r» Eddy's twit-
tngs:
“This truth Is the rock which the
builders rejected, but th e eame Is be­
come the head o f the corner.’ This
